    If our Regulars buy in and plays this hard defensively, we are gonna turn some heads.

    This SL has been worth watching. I said before it started that if Watford could show an improved 3pt shot he could be our version of Grant Williams.
    I have seen enough. He is a rotation player. Between him and Walker, our depth at PF is much improved.

    I seemed to have missed that quote by Dame regarding Billups deserving that level of success as a coach here.

    Sounds legit

    NY puts Melo in for the last minute and we lose

    Merge this to the Melo thread

    This score is like a Chauncey era Pistons vs John Starks Knicks score back in the day

    Guys, I think we have a decent Forward rotation. Grant, Little, Hart, Sharpe, Watford, Walker. Watford and Walker are revelations.

    They're letting the Knicks slap the shit out of our guys every time.

    I hope Billups can finally teach our team how to beat traps.
    We've always been horrible at capitalizing on defensive pressure and getting easy buckets.
